    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Andy Griffith and Frances Bavier did not get along during the series. According to Griffith and Howard Morris, Bavier was extremely sensitive, and resented her role of Aunt Bee. In 1972 Griffith and Ron Howard paid her a visit at her home in Siler City, NC, but she turned them away. When Bavier was terminally ill in 1989, she contacted Griffith to say that she regretted that they did not get along better.
    • Goofs
      In the first couple of seasons there is window to the left of the entrance (as seen from the street outside) but inside the Sheriff's office there is no window. In later seasons this error was corrected.

      • Andy Taylor: What?
      • Barney Fife: He asked me what line. I've got this one right, Andy. Otis was drunk!
      • Andy Taylor: That right, Otis? Did you ask Deputy Fife what line?
      • Otis Campbell: Yeah; but I didn't have my specs on and drunk or sober, I can't see much without my specs.
      • Andy Taylor: Otis, three hours ago when Deputy Fife arrested you were you drunk?
      • Otis Campbell: I don't know; I wasn't wearin' my glasses.
